Mohamed Salah: Winning Premier League More Important Than Champions League

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has made it clear that if given the choice, he would prefer to win the Premier League title with Liverpool, rather than lifting another Champions League trophy.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Egyptian forward admitted that while winning the Champions League is incredibly prestigious, the Premier League holds a special place in his heart. For Salah, bringing the domestic title back to Anfield — especially after Liverpool’s long wait for top-flight glory — is the ultimate dream.

Salah’s Love for the Premier League

Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been one of the most influential players in the Premier League. His incredible goalscoring record, combined with his consistency, has made him a club legend.
Liverpool’s 2020 Premier League triumph ended a 30-year drought, and Salah feels winning it again would cement the club’s dominance in English football.

"I love playing in the Premier League. The competition, the fans, and the intensity — it’s all special. Winning it with Liverpool is something I’ll never forget," Salah said.

Champions League Still Matters

This doesn’t mean Salah undervalues the Champions League. After all, he played a crucial role in Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League win, even scoring in the final against Tottenham. However, Salah believes that domestic dominance is the foundation for long-term success.

"Of course, the Champions League is amazing. But for me, winning the Premier League again — that’s personal. That’s for the fans, for the city, and for the whole club," he explained.

Liverpool’s Title Race 2025

With the 2024/25 season entering a critical phase, Liverpool are once again in the hunt for domestic glory. Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea provide stiff competition, but Salah’s hunger and leadership could prove decisive.

Fans have embraced Salah’s passion, and his latest comments have only strengthened his bond with the Anfield faithful. Many believe his desire to win the Premier League reflects the club’s identity — prioritizing success in England first, before conquering Europe again.
